I must respectfully disagree with Mr. S. Jerk. Under the new order, they've
lost just about all the assets that Chrysler brought to the merger. Not
likely good for shareholders. There also seems to be an inherent
contradiction in Mr. Jerk's theory; he says Chrysler promises to be a better
brand, but that they don't deserve to be included in the "big three."
